What We Don’t Like

Speakers

The speaker quality of this HP device is not quite what was expected from it. The loudness is not enough, and sound clarity is not there. You cannot watch a movie depending on the laptop’s speakers as they are very low.

Graphics memory

At this price range, many other companies are providing laptops with dedicated graphics memory for better performance. Without it, you are unable to work on image or movie editing software such as photoshop, premiere pro, etc.

This lightweight HP laptop is decent from every aspect and also looks premium. The silver color shines, and the specifications make it compatible and powerful to execute every task within a blink of an eye. This also comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.
